About Motsunabe (Offal hot pot)

Motsunabe, famous as a Fukuoka specialty, is said to have originated as a dish of offal and garlic chives simmered in an aluminum pot and enjoyed with a soy sauce-based broth.

The essential ingredient is the offal itself. Beef or pork offal is used, though the cuts vary from restaurant to restaurant. The flavor also depends on the freshness of the offal and how it is prepared.

Chamse noodles are the most common way to finish the meal. Some restaurants offer rice or udon instead, but chamse noodles are especially recommended with motsunabe. They pair wonderfully with the broth, rich with the flavors of offal and vegetables.
